Pasilalinic-sympathetic compass
The pasilalinic-sympathetic compass, also referred to as the snail telegraph, was a contraption built in an attempt to prove the misguided hypothesis that snails create a permanent telepathic link when they touch. The belief was developed by French occultist Jacques Toussaint Benoit and colleague Monsieur Biat-Chretien in the early to mid 19th century.
The supposed telepathic bond between the two snails was imagined to have no physical limit, thus making communication possible over any distance. By touching one half of the snail partnership it was suggested that the other snail would sense the contact and would move. Benoit built an apparatus to test his theories, but it quickly became apparent that what he expected to be a communication revolution was in fact just a costly failure.
==The hypothesis==
Benoit and Biat-Chretien believed that when there is contact between two snails a special type of fluid forms a link between them. This fluid forms an invisible thread that keeps the snails in "sympathetic communication" by using animal magnetism caused by an electric current pulsating along it.〔Howard, Toby. 1995. "(Progress at snail's pace )". Accessed 28 May 2007.〕 Though this implies some form of physical link between the two snails it was still referred to as "telepathy".
